Mothers in the Fatherland: Women, the Family and Nazi Politics | Claudia Koonz

Reading Harris while processing the books Hitler‘s People & Nazi Wives complicates for me the philosophical questions Harris is posing.All of the men explored & their wives did have a choice- yes, it was a life or death one , or at best a stripping of title, job, riches,etc.All were educated.Many of the wives did know what their husbands were doing, even the Final Solution. Historian & author Claudia Koonz included a chapter in her book about ⬇️

kspenmoll Women, known & unknown, who said no & the subsequent consequences they faced. Her scholarship is from 1986, & in the intervening decades interviews, diaries, journals, etc. have emerged to provided updated & more in depth research/ archives. Koonz was a professor at my college for a year or two. Her book is out of print. I am I saved it. I have inferred that her contention is that people indeed did have “free will” to make a choice.

A Mighty Fortress: A New History of the German People | Steven Ozment

Pretty good superficial view of German history since Roman times. Showed why Hitler seemed to be the answer in the early '30s. Don't look for a lot of details here, but OK overview. Took me longer to read than I thought, as usual.

Hitlerland: American Eyewitnesses to the Nazi Rise to Power | Andrew Nagorski

pick

I read this book after I read Newshawks in Berlin. Hitlerland is, of course, Nazi Germany. This book shows us a picture of the rise of Adolph Hitler as seen through the eyes of various Americans living and working in Berlin. Some thought Hitler wasn‘t dangerous and his movement wouldn‘t last, especially after he was arrested and sent to prison. Quite an informative book if history is your interest. Five stars

How to Win an Information War: The Propagandist Who Outwitted Hitler | Peter Pomerantsev

I am weak weak weak for WWII history books about thwarting Hitler. This book is a sort-of biography of Sefton Delmer, a German-born Australian who revolutionized Britain‘s propaganda war against the Nazis. I couldn‘t put it down! 📻 🚬
